    It's not terrible, it's just lackluster. There are some things that were in the deep dive video. Crowds are a lot louder, the strategies are there, It's a little faster going through the menus and loading into games. But as last year and the years before, they just added the bare minimum. Nothing groundbreaking like in Madden or Fifa. There's no option to have a full presentation orIt's not terrible, it's just lackluster. There are some things that were in the deep dive video. Crowds are a lot louder, the strategies are there, It's a little faster going through the menus and loading into games. But as last year and the years before, they just added the bare minimum. Nothing groundbreaking like in Madden or Fifa. There's no option to have a full presentation or condensed, no goalie intro, no new stats look, none of the new animations. The menus look the same, they just added a new color overlay, so there's no overhaul of the menu. The soundtrack is horrendous, terrible and loud. It's a ripoff essentially. The reason I bought it was to play a NHL game without any of the game breaking bugs that occur in NHL 22, there are some bugs, but nothing crazy like 22.
    I only play franchise mode and other offline modes, as Ultimate team continues to be absolute bogus. It's essentially like they have like 25 or so developers making this game and all the rest just focusing on MADDEN and FIFA. Hopefully an update adds the new stuff they promised, but with EA, you literally have to take that with a grain of salt.    … Expand

    Good-
    Euphoric crowd behaviour and arena atmosphere; Finetuned AI; On-ice tutorial overlays.
    Bad- New animations too fleeting and infrequent; Lack of updated game modes; Microtransactions. Thoughts- Ultimately, NHL 23 feels best suited to series newcomers. It’s a solid release, with a wealth of fresh animations and finetuned AI delivering a more authentic experience but it’s    Good-

    Ultimately, NHL 23 feels best suited to series newcomers. It’s a solid release, with a wealth of fresh animations and finetuned AI delivering a more authentic experience but it’s likely to feel like DLC rather than a new game to players of last year’s edition.    … Expand

    The new hockey season may or may not satisfy the players. It depends on which previous edition you last played and what you actually expect from the game.

    New animations help NHL 23 make steps toward greater authenticity but the series still needs a major overhaul.
